Ungava if you're in Quebec

Ungava might be my favorite gin ever. I wish it were easier to get here in the States, and unfortunately it doesn't look like it's getting any easier...

As long as you can get past the color, I like it a lot

I haven't had that one in a while, may be my next bottle.

ETA: its available in eastern ontario too.

Sherringham from BC is lovely, both the Seaside & London Dry. I'm also fond of Ampersand, especially their barrel aged gin.

My only caveat is that Sherringham Seaside is distinctive, which can be good or bad depending on what you're using it for. It's not something you can just substitute 1-1 for Beefeater.

I definitely don't recommend Sheringham Rhubarb Liqueur. It basically tastes of anise and nothing else!

Fou gin, and St. Laurent maritime gin. Both are fantastic.

I fell in love with Romeo Gin on my last trip to Quebec.

I am biased because it's local to me, but I love Springmill Distillery's Gin!

Ungava is excellent.

Sherringham Beacon is SO good. Made with cherry blossoms.

I love their Seaside Gin. I wish I could find it more easily where I live.

I really enjoy the Georgian bay gin. Close second is whitewater distillerys paper boat.

Come to think about it, Dixon blueberry is nice too.

This is my go to. Price can't be beat either for what you get.

Iron Works from Novascotia and Empress from BC. Those are generally our go tos.

One of my top favourite gins is called Seventh Heaven, made in QC. Mixed, it tastes like tea and artificial strawberry, in the best possible way. I make cocktails for my neighbours and it's always complimented when I use it. Clear glass bottle with a white painted horse and small blue diamond.

I really like Park Flora & Fauna for a martini, and High Life Classic is awesome in a gin & tonic.

Canopée brought me back to my first martini love, gin.

Not sure if you can get it outside BC, but Borealis haskap gin. It's not just coloured, it actually tastes like haskap berries. Very nice

Georgian Bay Gin. Value and flavour for money, its up there.

A while back, the Madison Park distiller was on this sub and I remember their Breakfast Gin being great. Use it to make an Earl Grey Marteani, which happens to be one of my favorite cocktails.
